TOURNE SELECT 6.0 180

If you love to tour all year round, this cleverly designed van conversion is well worth a look, says

Tourne Mobil is a newcomer to these shores, having exhibited for the first time at February’s Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show at the NEC. But it already has dealers in 12 countries in Europe, in addition to its home country of Slovenia.

Currently focused on van conversions, the company produces two lines based on a Peugeot Boxer, the premium Cruise and the higher-spec Select.

Along with the quirky features that first attracted us, these vehicles are designed for all-year touring: both water tanks and all external plumbing are insulated, and no pop-top roofs are involved at all.

To find out more, we visited Yorkshire Rose Motorhomes, near Doncaster, the brand’s first UK dealership, where we took a look at the 6m-long Select, with the top-spec 180bhp engine and automatic gearbox.

The 'van comes in white as standard, but various shades of grey are available, including the Thunder Grey of our test model, which is a £571.24 option. The Omnistor awning comes as standard, and you get an external BBQ point.
